How to set icon to title bar for each Activity in Tablelayout in android
- by Venu Gopal
In my tablayout example, i have created 3 tabs, as usually i set 3 activities for each tab. I can set image to title bar of activity, which adds the intent to each tab. Due to this, the image in the title bar is visible in all 3 tabs. My requirement is to set a different image to title bar for each activity. I followed this to set image to title bar. But when i am going to do the same thing to each activity, getting android.util.AndroidRuntimeException: You cannot combine custom titles with other title features this error and application is terminated.
manifest.xml
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.aptitsolution.tablayout"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0">
<application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@style/MyTheme">
<activity android:name=".TabLayoutDemo"
android:label="@string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name="AlbumsActivity"></activity>
<activity android:name="ArtistsActivity"></activity>
<activity android:name="SongsActivity"></activity>
TabLayoutDemo.java
public class TabLayoutDemo extends TabActivity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
getWindow().setFeatureInt(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE, R.layout.my_title);
Resources res = getResources(); // Resource object to get Drawables
TabHost tabHost = getTabHost(); // The activity TabHost
TabHost.TabSpec spec; // Resusable TabSpec for each tab
Intent intent; // Reusable Intent for each tab
// Create an Intent to launch an Activity for the tab (to be reused)
intent = new Intent().setClass(this, ArtistsActivity.class);
// Initialize a TabSpec for each tab and add it to the TabHost
spec = tabHost.newTabSpec("artists").setIndicator("Artists",
res.getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_tab_artists))
.setContent(intent);
tabHost.addTab(spec);
....

ArtistsActivity.java
public class ArtistsActivity extends Activity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE);//here i am getting the error
setContentView(R.layout.artists);
setFeatureDrawableResource(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE, R.layout.my_title);
}
}
my_title.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><RelativeLayout android:id="@+id/header"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="fill_parent">
<ImageView android:id="@+id/titleImage" android:src="@drawable/nowplaying"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<TextView android:id="@+id/titleText" android:layout_toRightOf="id/titleImage"android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:text="New Title" android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
